 \\\July is a great month to host Christmas in July challenge and that is exactly what we are doing in Make My Monday! I cut out the image of Mama / Baby Reindeer with Glimmer Paper and used a darker background (black) to make the image pop. The bow tie is also die cut out with Glimmer Paper. Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy card that you can make in no time!

Hi everyone - today I have a very fun fold card that I am featuring today with Cardz 4 Galz (Friendship) challenge as well as my card class for July!

I combined some retired and current SU items! I hope you enjoyed this card and be sure to join us at the challenge.

7/6/26 - Atlantic Hearts #689 - Fern & Floral with Banner Sayings

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great 4^th of July weekend! Today at Atlantic Hearts Sketch, instead of a slimline card, I made it into a regular size A2 card for it. The 3 square are die cut out with the coordinating paper (or DSP we called it at Stampin' Up) and I used the same suite bundle to die cut out a fern like image and added a sentiment. Hope you enjoyed this creation and join us at the challenge.

Hope everyone had a great 4^th of July celebration, now back to the grind! Today at A Place to Start with Anything Goes - twist to have Black/White. I saw a similar card and decided to CAS (Copy and Share) with my twist. I paired it with the light pattern paper of Fern and Flora and use the die cut out of the fern as the main focal point. I used a smaller sentiment and added some sequins on the top. I hope this card will give you some inspiration to join us at the challenge,
